Hmmm.......

Let's have a think. Inbound to RW33, turn left 90 deg. That makes the heading 240 deg. Then reverse right through 270 deg - that makes the heading 150 deg. Smart tactical move that - come down the approach virtually on a 3 deg GS and then f*ck off in the opposite direction?

Or had they already overflown the aerodrome at 1000 ft on a heading of 150 before turning left onto 060 and then right onto 330?

No wonder it confuses the AAA - it confused the heck out of me! Interesting CRM to stare at the navigator's willy during a low-level steep turn at night in a hostile area on NVGs. And I'll bet the co-pilot loves flying with this turkey!

As believable as a Dubya apology!
